Thanks for the replys. Seems like an iffy subject

My friend has a rental in PA and is currently looking to fill its vacancy. He received a call from someone asking if he accepts section 8 and without knowing the law he said no. I know that this can potentially be discriminatory in some states. So I'm wondering if it actually is discrimination in Pennsylvania?

Hi, @Roberto Lugo! Our meetings are the same day every month (3rd Tuesday). If you decide to start your own weekend meeting, or you find someone holding a weekend meeting, please let me know, and I will make sure I post a link! As of right now, neither myself or any of the other organizers are hosting a weekend meeting. 

So I found a way to make it to the monthly meetings. How do I find the group once I'm at the place? 

Super nice buy! Congrats. I'm hoping to be able to make a move on my 1st property via the house hack method this summer. Seeing a local guy doing it is just motivational. Thanks for sharing.

Create a basic and pro version. Of course the pro version for paid BP pro members. For the pro version go all out and compete with the big boys like Redfin and Zillow. Create the same filters that them guys give us allowing us to not only narrow down location, amenities, and types of properties but also give us the same filters that allow us to look at sold properties versus properties for sale etc... Give us the opportunity to do comps and get our ARVs without leaving BP. Give us away to Port those numbers directly into the calculators and work our numbers. If you give people the smallest opportunity to leave the website to figure things out the greater chance that they will find something else out there to suit their needs. Keep everything in house for people and there will be less of a chance of them finding something else.

Following the group to see if anything ever pops up on the weekends. The weekdays are just impossible for me.

@Nicole Heasley I am from the Youngstown area and am very excited to hear about your group start up. I've been looking for a group to join anywhere from Cleveland to Pittsburgh with no luck. So something local would be great. But let me tell you why I haven't been able to go to any group meet ups..... They're pretty much all on the weekdays. Some of us have jobs with very long grueling hrs during the week. So might I suggest a weekend meet and greet over food and drinks at a local restaurant or something like that. Everyone buys their own food and drinks and shoots the$&!+.

 Thought I read somewhere on the forums that wholesaling in Ohio was now frowned upon by the law.  Not sure though.

I have yet to purchase my first investment so wait for others to chime in. However oh, my guess would be that when it comes to profitability, rehabbing would give you more control over how much you can potentially make

You can also start evaluating properties even if you are not ready to invest. Go see properties and run the numbers. Get an idea of what a good deal might look like in the area you plan to invest in.
